As I'm getting tired of pointing out, you're all wrong, as usual. Why don't you all go back to first grade and try to *listen* this time?
Both Marmite and Vegemite are vegetarian yeast extracts. The only difference between them in the ingredients is one contains celery extract. In flavour, marmite is stronger.
Now all crawl back to your ponds.

Marmite actually means a large cooking pot, and vegemite is clearly an antipodean bastardisation.........
Here I am, brain the size of a planet.....
Picking up pieces of paper would be challenging.

I'd happily crawl back to my 'pond' (as you call it) were it not for the fact that someone appears to have smeared marmite all over it. Or is it vegemite?

Vegemite: (Kraft General Foods NZ Ltd)
Yeast extract, salt, malt extract, colour(caramel), vegetable flavours, vitamins (niacin, thiamine, riboflavin)
Marmite: (Sanatarium Health Food Company, NZ)
Yeast, sugar, salt, wheatgerm extract, mineral salt (508) colour(caramel), herbs, spices, vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin)
It's also got a small note under the ingredients: "100% vegetarian" (but then, what do you expect from a company owned by the 7th Day Adventist church?)
Promite: (Masterfoods of Australia)
Vegetable protein extract, sugar, yeast, natural colour(caramel) salt, thickener (Wheat starch), emulsifier (Glycerol monostearate) spices, added vitamins, water.
Marmite is sweeter than vegemite
Promite is sweeter then marmite
You pathetic bunch of losers.

And you people eat this crap? Those things described in the previous posting are not food! Zoomer I NEVER want to hear you insult "American Cheese" again! What's wrong with eating Marmite, indeed. No wonder there's such flatulence in here. Marmite comes from a sanitarium? None of the things you've listed here could be classified as food except...Vegemite is made by the same megaconglomerate that makes my tasty Kraft American Cheese Singles and nasty Marlboros.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Of course you eat disgusting pastes like Vegemite and Marmite... it's the only thing that you can eat, as your gaping maws lack any sort of grinding mechanism.
Foul codswollops, all... I'd prod you with a stick, except that it might awaken the giant fungus that serves as your skin.

*wanders in carefully stepping over all the researchers who are passed out in their own filth*
The reason that they advertise marmite as being 100% vegetarian is because there was this rather virulent urban myth about marmite being made from meat (hence Marmite rather than VEGEmite).
Missed the start of the marmite/vegemite discussion and haven't bothered to go back and read it because (a) kiwis and ozzies raised that argument to high art when you lot were still crawling round in your nappies and (b) I'm sure I won't find anything the least bit resembling intelligence in the last few weeks worth of postings I've missed.
btw marmite and vegemite are basically made out of fried dead mould and humungous amounts of salt and sugar. Not what you'd call the food of the gods.
Oh and you might want to consider trying the nappies again looking at the state of you.

Trin Tragula Posted Apr 20, 2004
Oh, look - Kea's turned up a mere week too late for the marmite discussion. What kept you? Did you have to evolve into something that could get here under its own steam (as opposed to being carried here in the usual plastic bag)?

Trin. You lot get carried round in a plastic bag? I guess you won't be needing the nappies after all.
What's wrong with... H2G2 researchers?
Trin Tragula Posted Apr 20, 2004
The only reason I would need a nappy would be if I were going to be sick in it. *looks at Kea*. Nappy, please.

Certainly. *hands Trin a nappy*

Trin Tragula Posted Apr 20, 2004
Thankyou *is sick in nappy* ah, that's better.
*Holds up nappy* Anyone of you pond slimes whose natural diet is human vomit had better start the bidding at a promise never to blight my existence by speaking up ever again.
